Honestly, just about every single problem with the sequel trilogy can be traced back to J.J. Abrams being given the reins for any amount of time.
JJ Abrams and the guy who wrote Batman v Superman.
Star Wars doesn't need a brilliant script, it just needs a simple, competent one. That's what The Mandolorian (season 1) had, which is why people liked it so much.
I mean, just about any DC ip movie writer is suspect as hell imo, because more often than not it feels like the writer had only read Dark Knight Returns, Killing Joke, and Watchmen. And coincidentally those three stories seem to always be the only ones that DC ever remembers publishing as well.
